Subject: [PATCH 0/7] media_build: various kernel version fixes
Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2018 12:19:15 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1524763162-4865-1-git-send-email-brad@nextdimension.cc> (raw)

This first four patches in this set disables drivers which cannot
be compiled before a specific kernel revision.

To fix of_find_i2c_device_by_node|of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node in
kernels 3.5 to 3.11.x the correct header is included.

The frame_vector.c wildcard check also appears to be broken for me.
The check is changed from using relative patch to absolute path,
and verifying frame_vector.c is in the build dir (v4l/) instead
of in the linux/ directory.

Lastly, I have one new addition to contemplate. I maintain driver
packages for a lot of different kernel revisions on a lot of different
architectures and some times make_config_compat.pl incorrectly
enables backport options which cause build failure. Instead of
making the config check more complicated I propose creation and
inclusion of an empty config-mycompat.h, after config-compat.h is included
in compat.h, which would allow for overriding any options necessary
due to symbols/macros/etc already existing in the target kernel.
config-mycompat.h would be touched before make_config_compat.h is
called and deleted during distclean, allowing a builder to copy any
overrides into the header before starting the compilation process.
This would allow usage of the media_build system without having to
supply out of tree patches to correct the 'bad' options. If I
somehow missed this functionality a pointer to it would be lovely.
